Imagine this: a normal Friday night, the footy’s on, everyone is chilling, and suddenly – bam! Your screens flash a breaking headline about a massive NRL trade. Someone reads it aloud, heads turn, and before you know it, the whole venue’s buzzing.
Yep, that’s what happens when you mix live sports news with clever screen content. And thanks to our new partnership with The Sporting News, that moment is now a reality.
The feed has also proven popular in gyms, hotels, sporting and active retail outlets, and other social hotspots.
Nightlife + The Sporting News = Big Win for Your Screens
We’ve teamed up with The Sporting News, a sports media giant with over 140 years of history and a very modern edge, to bring real-time sports headlines straight to your venue’s screens.
Here’s How It Works (and Why It’s Cool):
- Fresh Headlines, Hourly Updates
A rotating set of six slides with the latest sports news and images. Updated every hour. - Interactive QR Codes
Patrons can scan and read the full story right from their phones – perfect for breaks in play or halftime chats. - Starting with Aussie sporting favourites
We’re kicking things off with NRL, AFL, cricket, netball, F1, and boxing, with more coming soon. - Visual, Snappy, and Made to Spark Conversation
These headlines aren’t just informative – they’re built to get people talking, laughing, and debating, staying in your venue longer.
No Effort Required on Your End
We know you’ve got a venue to run. That’s why this new content stream:
- Comes free as part of your existing Nightlife Digital Signage setup
- Requires no extra work – it’s all handled in the background
- Automatically displays backup content if the connection drops (because life happens)
Why We’re Doing It
“Venues get a premium content stream without lifting a finger,” says Nick Jones, our Content Programming wizard. “It’s not just about putting content on screens – it’s about turning screens into talking points.”
And in the words of Wade Maris from The Sporting News, “Sport is at the heart of shared moments. This partnership helps venues amplify that in real time.”
Back it up with NRL Highlights
Lift the energy in your venue and make it a destination before a game using our NRL and NRLW highlights from the previous week. You can even queue up NRL club highlights from your community’s teams.
Avoid the “talking-heads” pre-match commentary – let fans relive the action from last week’s game with the best tries, goals, and biggest hits.
